Back to EpisodesThe Mayflower People OR The Day I Learned I Had No Family History
Description
Hello there!
This podcast, or maybe "book-cast," centers around my book, Flower in the River, which opens with the Eastland Disaster of 1915 (in Chicago), where 844 perished.
The book describes how losing a relative during that tragedy affected my family for generations. Although it's historical fiction, it's based on the actual events and the real people who populate my family tree. Sometimes, the truth can be told best via fiction.
The inspiration for the podcast came from the comments and questions I've received since the book was released.
In this first episode, I will share the wacky journey of how I became a family historian -despite being told by a teacher that since my family didn't arrive on the Mayflower, I had no family history. Yep, you read that right.
